Title:
Gimp Toolbox and Layers, etc. docks obscured by Unity Launcher and
Panel
Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When Gimp is run after a fresh install on 12.04 Precise Pangolin, the
Toolbox and the Layers, etc. Docks are located in the top-left and
top-right corners of the screens such that they are partially obscured
by the Unity Launcher and Top Panel. This results in the Toolbox, in
particular, being unusable, because some of the buttons are
inaccessible. It is not possible to move the docks away from these
positions.
I was able to work around this problem by changing the "Window
Management Hints" in "Preferences/Window Management" from "Utility" to
"Normal". After closing and reloading the Gimp, this places the docks
in normal windows that are clear of the Launcher and Top Panel and
able to be relocated. However, this will not be obvious to a new
user.
